AHMEDABAD: It was a children's show all the way at Rajpath Club on the Sarkhej highway on Monday evening with an exclusive 'Children's Dandia' drawing a huge crowd of toddlers to teen-agers.

Not only were the singers and dancers children, even the orchestra was handled by children who had been rehearsing for this day for weeks. The food stalls were also managed by children and so was the security.

Club manager Shyam Mehta, who conceived the idea, said "this had never been tried before, this was a dandia for the children, by the children and of the children". Looking to the kids' needs, the timings of the dandia, organised by Rushi Culture Group, was from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. instead of the regular ones that begin only after 10 p.m.

There were gifts for all the participants and prizes for winners selected by a jury comprising child artistes.
